I've been coming across more services that incorporate online and your phone to help you lose weight or eat healthier.

I kinda like the idea of being pestered by my cell to take exercise and use as a food journal, but I need to know if anybody's had any success with this kind of thing.

There's the *********, which is free and there's another called ************* that currently has a free trial going on. The ************* one seems to have more detailed help on dieting, though. I know I could just try them out, and I probably will, but I wondered if anybody had used anything like this and found it worthwhile.

My brother uses his cell phone to track his daily calories. He's lost about 80 lbs so far. You could always set alarms for yourself to go exercise.

I don't know about any of the specifically mentioned programs, though.

How about using your cell phone...or landline...to call a friend when you are hungry, to keep your mind off of food. No extra charge in that, is there?

Thanks for the replies. 80lbs is a great effort. I know the ************* service has a load of free calorie counters and trackers.

I decided to give their free trial a go

I can't see what I've got to lose apart from a few pounds. ;-)

And I don't want to be ringing friends up every time I get a hunger pang - I'd never be off the thing!
